    Order placed - although did have to go around a bit on the phone as to part number as they wanted to sell me a #800141 based on the year of my truck. Best to get that issue resolved!

    And although I won't post any prices since DPP didn't post, I will say that I am very pleased.

    Always glad to deal with a TDP vendor! Many thanks!

    Thomas,

    Post away, we are not able to post prices per site rules as a Sponsor, but you have no such restriction as far as I know. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be your performance part supplier too, we strive to have the right parts at the right price and encourage anyone to tell us if we are not competitive etc.

    I will weigh in by saying this.

    As a business woman I feel that competative prices may be posted and are good for all concerned.

    If you got a really sweet deal that may be considered to be "Cut throat" then please do not post the price as this can make being competative for some dealers of this fine products a lot tougher.

    I find this in the gun business as I am a small shop with no where even close to the ability to buy the quantity that the big supper shops can.
    My sale prices reflect this too.

    In the case of this posting please, if you like the folks you dealt with, recommend them and possibly encourage them to join TDP.

    Lets keep the price things off the page.

    I have quoted the price on a couple items I have purchased for my rigs but they were fair trade prices.

    I hope this reflects my position on the posting of prices.

    I am grateful for all the manufactures and dealers who have joined TDP and by keeping pricing out of the picture here (At laeast on the open posts) it keeps all parties happy.

    If you wish to PM someone whos aks about the price, go right ahead.


    *** I responded on this post solely because of an email alert I received regarding posting of prices ****

    Sorry, I didn't realize posting prices was a no no. Anyone can go to Summits website and find this price however. I do have a problem with websites that are difficult to navigate and then say "call for the best price" If I can't order it online at 11:45PM in my pajamas I won't waste my time scanning that website in the future. There are exceptions; ie low overhead fab shops that make a particular part and don't have the resources for a fancy website. Summits website is very informative and easy to navigate, and usually has fast shipping, just not in this case. UPS said it should be here monday.

    I had been the one that asked about posting the price I received from DPP - just didn't want to get anyone in trouble. I basically agree with Nelson about being able to find a price on the website instead of having to play games calling, but since this is a relatively new product and others seemed to have some shipping issues I went ahead and made the call.

    I'll just say the price was better than others I've seen online for the product plus shipping to me and even if it was the same or only slightly more I would have gone with them for their support of the Diesel Page.

    Just wanted to follow up - received the Fluidampr on Monday (01/07/08).

    Placed order with Diesel Performance Parts, Nashville, TN on 11/21/07. Credit card billed by DPP on 11/25/07. Shipped 01/03/08 from Horschel Motorsports, Springville, NY. Received in Harrisburg, PA 01/07/08.

    As an aside, the box says "6.2L GM Diesel #800191" on the side of it. As stated above, that is the correct one for the mechanical models, but caused a certain amount of confusion for the 6.5L application - I really think that Fluidampr has to address that to make it easier on the end user.

    Now just have to find some time to get it on the truck!

    I saw this in an above message.... I imagine this means they'll meet or beat anyone's prices.

    It might mean that, but it's currently like Schultz the Butcher:

    Mrs. Goldstein: "Is this price right? $2.79 the pound for lamb chops?

    Schultz: "Yes. $2.79"

    Mrs. G: "But Schwartz has lamb chops at $1.89 the pound..."

    Schultz: "So, buy your lamb chops at Scwartz!"

    Mrs. G: "Schwartz is out of lamb chops."

    Schultz: "When we're out of lamb chops, the price is $1.89 the pound also..."


    Bottom line: The site claims no hit for the Fluidmpr...

    Default Upgrades

    Hello

    I am wondering if anyone knows if its ok or not to glue a set of magnets onto a Fluidamper harmonic balancer? I have started to get a little interested in sticking an Isspro tacometer on my truck and I know they use a pair of magnets and a hall effect sensor to generate a signal. I am starting to get a little worried about my origonal balancer because I am getting a pulsing vibration throughout the truck which I think is steming from the engine. Kind of along the same lines, does anyone have any advice for installing a gear drive set at the same time as I do the damper?

    Thanks

    a pulse through the truck could be a driveshaft, u joints. a little more info about the truck would be nice. pulling the tach from the alternator would be my choice..

    Default The problem

    I know its not the driveshaft or anything like that because it does it when the engine is running, not driving. It only does it soemtimes, its just s slow vibration, I know its a pulsing vibration at about .2hz. I believe it to be caused by the engine operating at something close to the natural frequency of the frame and/or body since I can shut the truck down in the middle of a pulse and you can here the vibration damp out. The Issprro tachometers are much more accurate than an alternator driven one due to the power pulses of the diesel engine and V belt setup. It should be fairly easy to achieve something less than 5% error with a hall effect sensor and a pair of magnets, or even better with more magnets. Anyways, I can see the rubber on my origonal damper starting to squish out from between the two steel halves. I figure after 26 years of service and 190000 miles it might just be time to deal with it before something really bad happens, kind of the same issue with a gear drive set, all preventative maintenence.
